Reports of fresh success for China's track and field sports have been pouring in recently.
In the Eugene Grand Prix on May 30, 2015, China's sprinter Su Bingtian finished third in 9.99 seconds, behind American Tyson Gay in 9.88 and Mike Rodgers in 9.90. Su became the first Asian-born athlete to officially break the 10-second barrier in the men's 100 meters.
Chinese walker Liu Hong broke the world record in the women's 20km road walk during the Spanish leg of the 2015 IAAF Race Walking Challenge in La Coruna, Spain on June 6, 2015. Liu Hong trimmed more than one minute off her previous personal best to win the race in one hour, 24 minutes, 38 seconds.
China's Zhang Guowei beat a strong field in the men's high jump, one of the highlights of the IAAF Diamond League Oslo meeting on June 11, 2015. Zhang, 24, cleared 2.36 meters for the title.
This August, the IAAF World Championships in Athletics will be held in Beijing. It is a good sign that more foreign sports stars will participate in the games in China and more Chinese athletes are becoming world-class sports stars.
